The real firmware, running on this page: what you hear is what the FM-1 plays.
Your first beat
- Press Switch on.
- Black key 1 picks the kick. Click white keys 1, 5, 9, 13.
- Black key 4 is the snare: white keys 5 and 13.
- Press PLAY. Turn PRESETS to hear other kits; OCT+ loads one.
Then try the quick start or the cheat sheet.

White keys are the steps 1–16. Black keys pick the track (D1 to OH) and the bar (1–4). OCT− is SHIFT: hold it to see what it does. OCT+ is COPY and OK.
Library: try LXR-02 kits, backup and restore
Try kits here before putting them on your FM-1. The emulator holds what the FM-1 does: the LXR-02's 85 factory kits built in, 64 kit slots (the project's: patterns load them by number) and the kit library of 128 more (kept apart from the projects; Hrtl's DLC and UNTZ kit packs are put in its slots 97–128 the first time the emulator starts). Turn PRESETS for the kit browser: the factory kits (F1 …), then the library (L1 …), then the slots; KNOB 1 jumps between them, OCT+ loads one. A library kit can also be the morph target (LOAD → MORPH, From LIBRARY). Then download the kit library below, and restore it onto the FM-1 from the library page.
Pick .SND files, or a folder: it takes the .SND files in it and in all its subfolders (one project's folder, PROJ00 …, or a whole SD card, project by project). The slots take 64, the library 128; import more over them.
